Cousin Kate is a poem about a young girl who gets seduced by a Lord and makes her pregnant (the young girl is not Kate however the Lord didn't love the narrator of the poem and just used her. He then goes onto marrying her cousin - Kate But Kate is only in the marriage for money as she comes from a poor background, towards the end of the poem we find Kate cannot have a child with the Lord and all the Lord wants now is the narrators son however as it was conceived outside of marriage this would have been unethical in Victorian times.
